Karen Dunn was incredible from start to finish! She guided us through every step of buying our home—explaining the process clearly, staying on top of deadlines, and answering all our questions right away. Her local knowledge, negotiating skills, and calm, positive energy made a stressful process feel easy. We couldn’t have done it without her. Highly recommend Karen!

“Karen was absolutely fantastic to work with. [S]he was always responsive, patient, and incredibly helpful... We felt supported the entire time and would highly recommend her.”

Karen was absolutely fantastic to work with while we purchased our home in Elk Grove. We came to her (frequently) with questions throughout the process, and she was always responsive, patient, and incredibly helpful in her explanations. She’s very knowledgeable about every step of the loan process, and kept us on track from start to finish. We felt supported the entire time and would highly recommend her to anyone buying a home.

Wow! Thanks Jeff! Was such a pleasure guiding you through this transaction!

“Karen was amazing! She walked me through step by step and went way above and beyond to help me get my home. Saved me approx $3,000 and relieved so much of my stress!”

Karen was amazing! She walked me through step by step and went way above and beyond to help me get my home. When signing my papers the Title company kept commenting about how Lendors never come to these, and how she's never seen the seller pay for certain fees and Karen got them to. Saved me approx $3,000!!! Kept me up to date on what was needed and where we were at in the process, all the way up to a 7a text that I was funded!!! She kept me sane(as much as possible), relieved so much of my stress!!!

“I felt the process was easy and all those involved were professional and knowledgeable.”

I felt the process was easy and all those involved were professional and knowledgeable. It looked like other places had slightly lower rates available so that was a little disappointing but we chose to stick with a company we felt more comfortable with instead of chasing rates. I would have like someone at the beginning going over any available programs or loan types.

“The loan officer, Karen Dunn was excellent. Informed, proactive, easy to work with.”

The loan officer, Karen Dunn was excellent. Informed, proactive, easy to work with. The lower score is because the loan processing was cumbersome and many things that could have been asked for early were left until the very end making it a scramble.
